Swatow Restaurant located in Toa Payoh Central specialised in Teochew cuisine and serve dim sum as early as 8am in the morning daily. Dim sums are served in traditional push cart style, there are a total of 63 items on the menu from steamed items, fried items, rice rolls, congee & dessert to choose from. Sometimes I preferred to order from menu instead as you don't have to wait till the cart comes to you which at times really took a while. We were there on a weekend morning around 10 am and the restaurant was already quite packed. However dim sum quality was not as good as expected. Of all the items we ordered, only the porridge and egg tarts were nice.

Prawn Dumpling - S$4.00++

The dumplings were oversteamed, skin was broken when picked up and prawns were not nice too.
